Rakov - Poem for cello and piano

Rakov - Poem for cello and piano. You can download the PDF sheet music Rakov - Poem for cello and piano on this page. Nikolai Rakov was a Soviet composer. Rakov firstly studied violin at the Rubinstein Music School and later composition at the Moscow Conservatory with Reinhold Glière and Sergei Vasilenko. He was named a People's Artist of the USSR in 1975. Rakov was a staunchly conservative composer who exercised a solid grasp of orchestration and melody; many of his works ventured only a little beyond the style of Alexander Glazunov and Reinhold Glière, though his expressive range is far greater than the latter. Unabashed tonality, late Romantic harmonies, and flowing tunes were the hallmarks of his work, in which the Russian national idiom always took prominence.
